Antibacterial Testing Laboratory

With thorough testing, we make sure your products meet the highest industry standards.

What is Antibacterial Testing ?

Antibacterial testing is a crucial requirement for industries betrothed in the development of antibacterial products. Basically, microbiological assessment is helpful to validate products for their antimicrobial efficacy, shelf life, and presence of potential contamination factors.

Antimicrobial testing is also implied to monitor the microbiological quality of non – sterile products.

With an extensive experience in executing microbiological testing, MIS offers an array of services towards varied industries globally such as textiles, disinfectants, coatings, and cosmetics. Our antibacterial testing services are tailored to our client’s individual needs.

We execute and perform antibacterial testing services for following industries –

Antibacterial Efficacy Test Methods for Plastics

The JIS Z 2801 test is designed to quantitatively measure the ability of plastics to inhibit the growth of microorganisms (Bacteriostatic) or kill them (Bactericidal), over a 24-hour period of contact. It is a relatively sensitive assay, meaning that it can detect low-level antimicrobial effects exerted over long periods of time.
ASTM E2180 test is a quantitative method for determining the antimicrobial effectiveness of the agent(s) incorporated in polymeric or hydrophobic surfaces. This test method can also be used to determine “shelf life” or long-term durability of antimicrobial-treated materials by testing both washed and non-wasted samples over a period of time.
ISO 22196 is a quantitative test used to determine the antimicrobial activity of antibacterial treated plastic materials to kill bacteria (bactericidal) or inhibit their growth (bacteriostatic).
ASTM G29 test method determines the efficacy of plastic films integrated with anti-algae additives to resist the growth of surface-growing algae.
ASTM E3031 is a standard test method used to evaluate the efficacy of ceramic surfaces impregnated with antibacterial agents.
ASTM G22 standard specifies a qualitative test method for determining the antibacterial resistance of additives impregnated in plastic materials.
ASTM D2574 is an antimicrobial efficacy test that determines the resistance of emulsion paints containing biocides from microbial deterioration.
